Hormone Therapy for Women in Rancho Mission Viejo

To keep blood sugar stable, it’s essential to follow a balanced diet with regular meals containing protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. To avoid hormone-disrupting insulin spikes, we limit high-glycemic foods, refined sugars, and simple carbohydrates.

Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3s and omega-6s, play a role in hormone production. Foods like fish, chia seeds, walnuts, and flaxseeds aid synthesis and lower inflammation.

Consuming foods that are high in phytoestrogens, like flaxseeds, soy, and legumes, can support estrogen balance. Cruciferous vegetables help with estrogen metabolism.

The gut is essential for regulating hormones. Dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut bacteria, may lead to estrogen dominance. A diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics promotes gut health, which is important for hormone stability.

The liver detoxifies hormones like estrogen. Eating antioxidant-rich foods, and sulfur-containing vegetables (like garlic and cruciferous veggies), and staying hydrated promotes effective hormone detoxification. Limiting toxins and processed foods reduces liver burden.

Chronic stress raises cortisol, which can unbalance other hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Adopting stress-relief techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and quality sleep is crucial.

Regular moderate exercise helps maintain hormone balance by reducing stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting weight control. However, excessive exercise can result in hormonal issues, particularly for women, so the intensity and frequency should be personalized.

Routine blood tests should be conducted to monitor hormone levels and dietary and lifestyle interventions should be adjusted based on how the individual responds. Ongoing assessment ensures the effectiveness of the approach as the body adapts.
